Defrosting-Cleaning -De-commissioning
Defrosting the cold storage compartment
The cold storage compartment is designed for automatic defrosting. Frost formed on the back wall
will melt and flow via the drainpipe to the evaporating container over the compressor on the back of
the refrigerator, where the heat generated by the compressor will evaporate the water.
Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensure
the normal flow of defrosted water. Use the rod provided to clear any blockages.

acid or alkali for cleaning.

Prolonged power failure
